The Birth of Sword God

Chapter 384 - 339: Advancement! Upper Grade Spiritual Embryo!

The East and West Continent Competition of the Third Realm concluded with the death of a prince.

This was the most shocking leader contest in hundreds of years.

Also, the bloodiest leader contest in these hundreds of years!

Even many years later, there may be those who feel sorry for Qin Xuexiao’s death without understanding the situation.

Because the strength he exhibited in this competition was truly terrifying, and losing such a prodigy to internal strife was a loss for the entire Profound Yellow Realm.

As for the possible ensuing public uproar, Chu Huaixu was entirely indifferent.

He never cared about people talking behind his back.

Because what he says behind their backs might be even nastier.

As for why he didn’t make the Ancestor Emperor’s possession public, he had his considerations.

The Four Great Sects also had their concerns.

This way, it was easier to manage the Moon Country Royal Family.

Having the event end with this conclusion was already quite good.

Chu Huaixu was only Third Realm in cultivation, so he still made sure to leave room for himself when acting.

Moreover, strictly speaking, this matter wasn’t closely related to the other three major sects.

Because Chu Huaixu had discretion, their support was so prompt.

They were also happy to see the Moon Country Royal Family humiliated, yet forced to swallow it.

At this moment, even though the East and West Continent Competition had ended, the Four Great Sects wouldn’t leave immediately but would linger in the Imperial Capital for three days.

The reason was simple; they still needed to claim their prizes.

Participants with good rankings had rewards to collect.

As the leader of Profound Yellow, Chu Huaixu could freely choose something from the Moon Country’s treasury.

It’s known that the Moon Country controls the entire Western Continent, and in some sense, its treasury’s strength certainly surpasses any of the Four Great Sects.

But he was somewhat too lazy to choose.

Because he already had in mind what he wanted.

The extremely rare supreme treasure among Heavenly and Earthly Treasures—the Holy Water!

That day, during the contest between the Ancestor Emperor and the Evil Sword, the opponent sacrificed a drop of Holy Water, and Chu Huaixu was instantly envious.

"This treasure is destined for me!"

He was worried about solving the Evil Pill issue.

This solved it; I originally wouldn’t have solved it, but now you’ve given me the answer!

——Thank you, Teacher Ancestor Emperor.

And once the three days are up, the Four Great Sects would set out together, returning to the East Continent.

This way, they could look after each other on the way.

Of course, generally speaking, if any great cultivator from the Moon Country dared to strike at Chu Huaixu now, they’d be classified as evil cultivators.

At this stage, he was indisputably the best candidate to enter the second level of the Origin Spirit Realm.

The burden again fell on his shoulders.

When the Daoist Sect’s team returned to their residence, Mo Qingmei glanced at Chu Huaixu, hesitating to speak.

In the end, it was Chu Huaixu who spoke first.

This second-ranked candidate on the Accompanying Play Must-Eat List didn’t say any comforting words but rather: "Steward Mo, you’ve worked hard these days, everyone has seen it, now that everything’s done, quickly go home for a good rest."

She did indeed look rather exhausted.

Mo Qingmei opened her mouth, then just smiled appreciatively and said: "Okay."

She turned to leave, glancing up at the sky.

After snowing all day, it finally stopped.

...

...

Chu Huaixu and his family returned home and went to their respective rooms.

Han Shuangjiang and Xu Ziqing, after witnessing Sword Venerable’s "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root," had some realizations and needed to go back to meditate and digest.

For the Big Ice Cube, the competition was over, so there was no need to suppress the realm; she could break through to the Fourth Realm after returning to the sect.

As for Chu Huaixu, he naturally returned to his room to organize the gains from this competition.

"It’s time to prepare thoroughly for entering the next Origin Spirit Realm."

After sitting on the meditation mat, he opened his Character Panel.

"In the last leader contest, the system only rewarded experience points for defeating Qin Xuexiao."

"No extra experience points for killing the Crown Prince and eliminating four traces of Divine Thought."

But he soon smiled, feeling relieved: "Thinking about it, that’s right, after all this is a world protagonist, can’t be marked as a red-named wild monster."

Chu Huaixu glanced at the remaining free experience points, about 3 million.

"Upgrading the Sword Heart is too costly."

Thinking about it now, he still felt heartache.

But there’s no way around it—this was the best finishing move he could think of.

Also, even though the system hasn’t indicated, Chu Huaixu had his personal speculation.

"I always feel the higher my Sword Heart level, the greater the chance I’ll comprehend the advanced version of ’Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root.’"

He believed his Sword Heart was practically born for this technique!

Today, although he witnessed the Sword Venerable’s version of "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root," he remained calm as before.

"Old rule, every time I accumulate 10 million experience points, I’ll indulge once."

Everyone has a bit of a gambler’s mentality, although he wasn’t heavily burdened by it.

Chu Huaixu opened his Backpack, planning to open the Celestial Level Treasure Chest first.

He started rubbing his hands like mad, resembling Li Chunsong.

"By the way, before going down the mountain this time, did the gambling addict open any betting games?" He curiously wondered.

"If they did, I wonder what was bet on me." He smiled knowingly.

As the key character in every betting game, he actually found it quite intriguing.
